Hey guys! It was totally awesome! I know how difficult it can be to have a podcast (trying to get listeners and all) but I just want you to know you have one listener in Las Vegas (the most unvegan place to live!) :-P

My favorite thing that Australians say is "yeah." 'Cuz it sounds like "yeeeeh." Neat.

Also, "sugar" ("sugah").

Sounds super yummy...I'll give it a go one of these nights for sure.

I believe that its "shoo-gah" :-P And I love when you guys say 'so.'

But anyway :-P I've heard that Americans speak pretty funny too from a Canadian and a bunch of Aussies, so -- blah, but you guys sound so much cooler!

nice job on the podcast, and you're brave to tackle tortillas. for some reason, i'm skeptical of my ability to make flat breads, but i think i'll try this. thanks!

Sare, instead of kneading the Tortilla mixture like you do for bread... mix ingredients lightly then roll them out, brush lightly with oil, squish them into a ball, repeat so it has 2 lots of oil. This is much better for the taste factor than traditional kneading. Once you have been doing this for about 20 years you will be able to do 3 lots of oil without them becoming tough :)

While I am passing on the family secrets...

Tortillas should be cooked on a dry pan, no oil please! To prevent them sticking give them a light dusting with flour before putting them into the pan. Another tip to stop them sticking is to move them a few times during the first 30 seconds of cooking. They are ready to be turned about 5 seconds after the aroma hits you. Allow slightly less time for the 2nd side.
